How about 'Poisoning pidgeons in the Park'
3:44 am

True...
3:45 am

I dimly remember that, Douglas. Did 'I drank champagne from you shoe, tralala, I was drunk by the time I was through,' come from that song?
3:46 am
Frances

I used to love Tom Lehrer - so irreverent!
3:46 am

Spring is here, as a budding is here,
Life is skittles and life is beer,
I think the lovliest time of the year is the spring
I do, Don't you? Course you do!
3:46 am
Haz1558

You'd have to be awfully picky about whose shoe you would be prepared to drink champagne from.
3:47 am
Douglas

The song you refer to hydra, is called "The Wiener Schnitzel Waltz"
3:47 am
Douglas

Which was the last song of the second side of "Songs by Tom Lehrer."
3:48 am
hydra

Oh yes, of course! How about the cynical May and September one? Whifch album was that on? And Poisoning the Pigeons in the Park? The animal rights people would lynch him for that these days!
3:50 am

"When You Are Old And Gray" is on the same album as "The Wiener Schnitzel Waltz," and "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park" is on the album "More by Tom Lehrer"

Persian/Turkish poet of the 13th century. Perhaps you've heard of a whirling dervish? He was the guy who got the dervishes whirling in the first place...

Wow. I went to see some genuine whirling dervishes at the Festival Hall in London. Though I've been many times to Turkey, I never saw any there.

not that it matters either way! i would do the grid no matter what.
5:31 am

I know what you mean, but some grids are more satisfying than others. This one has a nice mix of the familiar and the more unusual.

that's good, good length too.

i wasn't familiar with these artists ata, but when i did my search i was more drawn to waterhouse.

wolvie, sorry.

why so, ARB??
6:11 am
Wolvie

oh - I see -typo. No worries
6:12 am
Atalante

Waterhouse's work is *incredibly* beautiful. Many other PR artists aren't quite so classically inclined and more of a "specicialised" taste
6:12 am
FranMag

that must have been it ata!
6:13 am
Atalante

I could look at Waterhouse painting for ever and a day I think :)

ARB the Qu words arent 'normal'

how long are they cj?
6:21 am
FranMag

my phantom of the night is squish
6:21 am
CJ25

5 and 7 letters
6:21 am
ARB

Outside of the Eng;ish speaking world, q is used, often even without a u. I'm very used to seeing transliterated words from Arabic and Hebrew which use the q for a gutteral K sound.
6:21 am
Wolvie

I wanted squire, fran. :-)
6:22 am
FranMag

and quisp didn't work either!
6:22 am
Wolvie

well, ARB - I am not - looks like these are going to be a tough thing for me to hunt down, should be fun. :-)
6:22 am
FranMag

thanks cj!
6:23 am
CJ25

is quisp a posh word for crisp? ;-)
6:23 am
FranMag

it was a cereal brand that didn't quite take off i think
6:23 am
ARB

The qu 5/18 has only a single vowel, the u. The qu 7/44 is the plural (by "normal plural rules).
6:23 am
FranMag

but i like your definition for sure!
6:24 am
Atalante

rhymes with a well-known babbler

6:48 am
FranMag

scrabbler, the clue that got it for me was, the only vowel in it is the U.
6:48 am

I need to note that as we travelled across the many states (it took a week with all our stuff in two vehicles) I marvelled at how many babblers I could place --- in Wyoming, Nebraska, Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, Indiana, New York, to Massachusetts. Even though we were just passing through it was nice to "know" people in each state!

just a little question here - i'm watching the news & i'm learning that it seems to be common practice (at least at this one dental clinic) to anethetize young patients for procdures, including cleaning - does anyone else find this outrageous?
5:08 pm
stidmama

last sh 5/12 is the jewish place where the dead go. often transcribed as "hell"

magzel

need the 2 so 5/10 that are tofgether please
5:09 pm
stidmama

helen, some children are very afraid of dentists and the only way to make them comfortable enough to work on them is to sedate them. Others, like one of my children, have problems with muscle control and some sedation can keep them from chewing or tongue thrusting involuntarily.
5:10 pm
Andree

have those, must be before that
5:10 pm
chj

maybe my painting can go out with your painting
5:10 pm
stidmama

magzel: bottom of shoe + vowel; then plural bottom of shoes
5:11 pm
helenkeller

hmmm - well, there's sedation & then there's sedation - but there are so many dangers associated with putting someone under, it seems crazy to me -
5:11 pm
stidmama

Andree -- the place you put knickknacks and books? on a sh***?
5:11 pm
Andree

must be first sh5/18 please
5:11 pm
helenkeller

& no reason for kids to fear dentists -seems to me some behavioral desensitization makes more sense than putting kids under as a matter of practice
5:11 pm
Andree

thx stid
5:12 pm
Andree

3 left, last le word 6/18 please
5:12 pm
stidmama

yes, and in general I wouldn't think it's a good idea, but I think that when the choice is between good dental care or otherwise... (and some kids fear dentists because they have little reason to trust any adult -- but that's another topic)
5:12 pm
helenkeller

but that's why it was on the news, seems this one girl is not coming out of the anesthetic after 2-3 days - not sure
5:13 pm
stidmama

last le word is the person who rents; the one who takes out the le 5 on a place
5:13 pm
helenkeller

yeah stid - i see your point about the ones who can't trust any adult
5:13 pm
stidmama

oh man! that's really bad -- sounds like she had an unexpected reaction?
5:14 pm
cybernan

strike up the band! *dances over the grey tiles*
5:14 pm
helenkeller

yeah - other patients are saying the dentist is a good guys & well credentialed - i just didn't realize it was so common
5:14 pm
stidmama

helen, have you had time to check the babblestory.com website? How do you think the colors/fonts are? I have a few minutes and was going to try tweaking it.
5:15 pm
stidmama

YAY NAN!!!! *joins in dance and tosses confetti*
5:15 pm
helenkeller

i've seen my dentist have the adult lay down in the chair & then have the kid lay on top of the adult with the adult hugging the child - it seemed nice - i was sooooooo tempted to say - OUUUUUUCH, but i restrained my self, hahaha
5:15 pm
stidmama

Of course, you can't know how everyone will react to any medication (like the time I hallucinated on a very common muscle relaxant).

the clues that everyone gives are a great help!!

Oh, that sounded a bit preachy! I think you know what I meant, though.
6:41 pm
wurdygurl

not preachy
6:41 pm
snowyowl

It's only practise zTink -It does get easier the more you play & some of the people here are frighteningly clever but it's all about fun & babblers are nearlt 100 per cent good fun
6:41 pm
Jacula

zTink - After the first buzz of getting a new grid, and I think most addicts will agree with me here, the clue giving and chat is the best fun!

Last op I had, Ang (well, the first, really, not including giving birth stuff), the anaethstetist (no, that is one word I cannot spell!) wore bottle bottom glasses. I remember feeling sh*t scared when he gently stuck the needle in the back of my hand.... I was meaning to worry about, how will he see the monitors whilst I'm out? and all that sort of thing. Unfortunately, he knocked me out. However, I seem to have lived to tell the tale.

'They' say NZ and Taz are like UK was 30 years ago, plus being nice and green (as in foliage, grass etc). I think that sounds lovely!
8:17 pm
Angb

Better watch a comment like that as there are a number of Aussies on this site ... although I would agree with you LOL. Yep, Auckland - which other site do you go on?
8:17 pm

8:24 pm
Jacula

All I can say Ang, is that I'm glad I'm not Mum to a 6 & 8 yr-old. I'm far too old for that, but not far too old for a toyboy (which I have). *grins* My two are 19 & 22 and the 'step' will be 12 in December.
8:25 pm
Angb

Yep, but they are getting better. Just had lunch and had to fix the loaf of bread which the 8 year old cut with a dinner knife LOL. But their father is my toy boy - but only by 6 years.

The so 6/21. Take the 5/21 which is on the bottom of your shoes and add a vowel before the last letter
8:27 pm
Jacula

Beaten you |AngB! My toyboy is 12 yrs' younger! LOL.
8:28 pm
Angb

Better go - toy boy home from work. Bit early so it won't have gone well. Good luck all.
8:28 pm

Ang - that's the trouble with toyboys, they can be truculent. As Babble has seen with me and mine, over time...
8:28 pm

But we love 'em!
